Individual Types X Nen Ability Awakening

Kevin was completely exhausted from Training Ground. He sat cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily, with large beads of sweat rolling down his body.

Increasing one's Qi (vital energy) is much more difficult than improving physical fitness; it requires a gradual and in-depth process.

Bisky taught Kevin several methods, which he is trying one by one to find the one that works best for him. He has been quite successful in this period.

Strong physical fitness does bring many advantages, such as the ability to extract more qi.

After all, there is a limit to how much qi a person can hold.

The better one's physical condition, the more energy one can absorb and unleash.

As one gets older, opportunities for discovery may increase, but correspondingly, one's abilities will also decline as one enters old age.

Kevin's physical abilities are extremely strong, which makes it easier for him to generate a large amount of energy in the early stages.

It's like two pieces of land both containing mineral veins, but one piece is buried deep underground, while the other's veins are even directly exposed on the surface.

With the same amount of manpower and time spent digging, naturally more gas will be extracted from the land in the latter part.

Therefore, he is currently in the early stages of rapid growth. This kind of training, in which he can constantly feel his own progress, fascinates Kevin.

Although the speed of taking the drug is fastest when it is at its most effective, the feeling is different when you draw strength out of yourself through hard work.

Recently, he has become a regular at the Training Ground, spending most of his day training.

You should know that he used to spend most of his time researching various medicinal herbs and developing new medicines.

After resting for a while, Kevin wiped the sweat from his brow and went to the Rest Area.

Kurapika and the others had been resting here for quite a while, and when Kevin came over, he clearly heard their conversation.

At this moment, these little ones are searching online for information about various gemstones and exploring their metaphorical meanings.

"Uncle."

When Pairo saw Kevin approaching, he smiled and greeted him.

Kevin nodded and looked at everyone.

"Your training at the Four Major Principles is almost complete; now it's time to teach you more advanced skills."

"Once you're all familiar with each other, we'll conduct your departmental assessment. I bet you're all eagerly waiting for that."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was immediately drawn, and they all stood up.

Even Nion was standing nearby, curiously came over to listen, although she might not necessarily learn it, and given her current level of control over her ki, she was not allowed to use these techniques.

But she was very interested in what department the others would be in.

The group stood in a neat row.

Kevin walked up to the whiteboard and wrote different symbols on it.

"The so-called Seven Techniques are—"

As Kevin explained, everyone nodded in agreement; it wasn't difficult for them to understand.

Essentially, these are all basic extensions.

In fact, even without Kevin's explanation, once a person has mastered a certain level of ability, they will think about whether they can achieve these skills during training.

It's just that they might not be able to think things through comprehensively.

Therefore, the so-called Seven Techniques are likely to have naturally evolved during training and actual combat.

Then someone summarized these things and turned them into systematic learning knowledge.

"At this stage, we can no longer expect you to master every single skill as we did during the training at the Four Major Principles."

"As you've probably noticed, these techniques are used in different ways. Some people may be very skilled at one technique, but never quite get the hang of another."

"This is similar to the situation with the Six Nen Types, so you can try training each of these techniques. I don't expect you to be proficient in any of them, but you should have some understanding of each one."

"Especially these kinds."

Kevin circled the words "condense," "hard," "firm," and "flow."

"These techniques are crucial in combat. Without them, you can easily fall into a disadvantageous position, and may even endanger your own safety."

Therefore, even if you don't have much talent, you must master these skills.

"The technique of 'condensation' is relatively simple among these skills, and many people can master it naturally when practicing the Four Major Principles."

Kevin said, holding up a finger in front of him.

"Now, try to gather your energy around your eyes and look with that focus."

This technique is basically the simplest of the Seven Techniques, and of course, it is also the most practical and essential.

It is essential to be able to sense when something is wrong, and even to maintain a state of "stillness" during combat.

It greatly reduces the probability of being ambushed in battle, which is very important.

Upon hearing Kevin's instruction, the group began to try, their energy slowly converging towards their eyes, guided by their thoughts.

This is not difficult for them.

After all, their training during this period was no joke, and they all have some talent to varying degrees.

Among them, Pairo moved the fastest.

Although it was his first time trying it, he mastered the technique in just over ten seconds.

As if he had already learned it, his aura instantly gathered around his eyes.

Perhaps it was because his eyesight had been poor in the past, and he had to concentrate hard to see things, that he was able to master the "condensation" technique more easily.

After all, the key to using this technique is focus.

"It's 3!"

"Pairo shouted loudly."

"You got it right!"

Kevin responded with a smile.

Pairo remained in a "frozen" state, smiling as he looked at Kevin, their eyes meeting.

In that instant, Pairo suddenly froze.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a cloud of dust rose from where Kevin had been standing, and Kevin jumped back, putting five or six meters between himself and Pairo.

The people around looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

At this moment, the stunned Pairo came to his senses and hurriedly closed his eyes, covering them with his hands as if trying to hide something.

My eyes.

Kurapika rushed forward and helped Pairo up, asking anxiously, "What happened? Pairo, are you hurt?"

"No, no, my eyes feel strange."

This sudden turn of events made Pairo somewhat nervous.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

At that moment, Kevin walked back with a frown on his face.

Everyone looked at him, their eyes full of questions.

Kevin didn't speak immediately. Instead, he walked up to Pairo, examined him carefully, and said, "Calm down first. If you really can't, enter a state of 'absolute'."

Pairo nodded, his aura quickly receding, and the aura that had been covering his eyes instantly dissipated.

Upon entering the "Absolute" state, the problem was immediately resolved, Pairo returned to the "Entangled" state.

Slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes looked no different than before, and there was no sign of them turning Fiery Red Eye.

Did you experience any particular changes when you used "Condensation" just now?

Kevin asked with a serious expression; he had just sensed danger.

Seeing Kevin's serious expression, everyone tensed up as well. Pairo nodded calmly and began to recount what had just happened.

"When I was staring at the numbers on my uncle's finger, I didn't feel anything special. But the moment I made eye contact with him, it was different."

He began to describe that different feeling.

"The moment I saw my uncle's eyes, I felt a power that I seemed able to use, but it would take a little time to activate."

"At that moment, that force surged out uncontrollably, and then my uncle suddenly jumped away."

After listening to Pairo's story, Kevin nodded seriously and frowned in thought for a moment.

The reason he jumped away so quickly was because his keen intuition sensed a strong sense of crisis.

It wasn't that Kevin's intuition was extraordinary, but rather that in this peaceful environment, he was relaxed and showed no signs of tension.

In this state, even the slightest hint of danger would alert him.

So he jumped back without hesitation to create a safe distance.

Another reason is that the power that Pairo unleashed was too immature and obvious, Kevin noticed it immediately.

It's important to know that Kevin has something unique about him compared to ordinary Nen user.

He controls his Nen ability with complete ease, as naturally as if he were using his own body, and he once carried Resentment within him.

These two factors combined make him extremely sensitive to subtle abnormalities in air.

For example, he can react immediately the moment he is scanned by a "circle".

Even if it is a kind of "hidden" energy, even if he doesn't notice or see it, he can instantly sense and react as long as it touches his body.

His body is extremely sensitive to everything external, especially anything related to qi (vital energy).

Therefore, it seems highly likely that Pairo has awakened his Nen ability.

The Nen ability that awakens in this way is most likely Specialization Type.

I really didn't expect that.

Kevin looked at Pairo and said directly, "You most likely awakened Nen ability directly, and it's a natural Nen ability. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Specialization Type."

Before Pairo could react, Kurapika exclaimed excitedly, "That's amazing, Pairo! You actually awakened your Nen ability!"

After excitedly congratulating him, Kurapika suddenly realized something and asked, "But wouldn't that break the agreement?"

Kevin smiled helplessly, "This was an unexpected situation, it doesn't count as breaking the agreement. But Kurapika, you still have to keep your promise."

Upon hearing this, Kurapika's face immediately fell. "Ah!"

However, he was genuinely happy for Pairo.

Because that sounds really impressive.

Pairo frowned and said, "But I have no idea what my Nen ability is."

This situation, where he wasn't even sure of his own abilities, made Pairo feel very uneasy.

He originally had all sorts of ideas about his Nen ability and was even thinking about how to develop it.

Unexpectedly, fate didn't give him that chance at all.

"Don't worry." Kevin patted Pairo on the head and said with a smile, "Although you don't understand the specific effects of Nen ability, it is still your own ability, and it will guide you instinctively. With a little experimentation, you'll be able to figure it out easily."

As he spoke, Kevin simply took the prepared items over.

"Since this has happened, let's proceed with the assessment. Let me see your respective Nen ability."

While this situation would basically confirm it's Specialization Type- based constitution, it's still best to conduct further testing to be completely certain.

As he spoke, Kevin looked at Rosana.

"Rosana, you go first."

Rosana smiled and nodded, then walked to the table and placed her hand on the cup.

Kevin had previously explained the identification method for Water Divination to them, so everyone knew how to do it.

The steam surged out instantly, enveloping the water glass.

Soon, the water glass changed.

The crowd immediately gathered around, observing with curiosity.

Everything else remained unchanged, except for the liquid in the glass.

The originally clear and transparent water gradually became somewhat turbid and milky white under the influence of the steam, as if a drop of Milk had been added to it.

Apart from that, there was nothing else unusual about the cup.

"Yes, it's confirmed, it's Emission Type."

"The Emission Type?" Rosana murmured to herself, recalling what Kevin had told her about the characteristics of this department.

Kevin looked at her and reminded her, "I'll explain the details of the department's further development and construction to you later."

Rosana nodded, Time Stop.

Next up is Kurapika.

He eagerly stepped forward and placed his hand on a new water glass as well.

As air was injected, changes occurred again in the water.

Visible to the naked eye, extremely tiny crystals appeared in the liquid in the glass.

"The presence of impurities in the water is a characteristic of Materialization Type," Kevin said.

Kurapika nodded, looked at his hands, and then made way for him.

Materialization Type.

To be honest, Kurapika was a little disappointed; he had originally hoped to be Enhancement Type.

On one hand, Kevin is Enhancement Type, and on the other hand, Enhancement Type tend to perform better in battle.

Unfortunately, the type of Nen ability is not subject to personal will.

If it's Materialization Type, what should be conjured?

As Kurapika was pondering this, it was Pairo's turn.

Everyone stared intently, eager to see the results of Pairo's test.

After all, he awakened his Nen ability on his own.

Pairo took a deep breath and gripped the new cup.

As the steam rushed in, a unique change indeed occurred inside the cup.

The leaves floating on the water's surface began to sway, then sank directly to the bottom.

Some shadows appeared faintly in the water glass, as if the light and shadow had been distorted, as if the water had deformed the light that was projected into it.

The changes end here.

"Alright, it's basically confirmed that you're Specialization Type, just like Nion."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Nion, Nion stood with her hands on her hips, a smug smile on her face.

Previously, no one knew what type of Nion belonged to; they only knew that she was Nen user and that her combat ability was very weak, almost negligible.

I never expected that she and Pairo were in the same department.

With everyone's Nen ability type tests completed, the focus now shifts to Pairo; it's crucial to determine exactly what his ability is.

Kevin looked at Pairo and, based on what had just happened, reviewed the known conditions.

"It can be confirmed that one of the conditions for activating your ability is to maintain a 'frozen' state in your eyes and then make eye contact with the other person."

"Moreover, this process is definitely not instantaneous; there should be a time standard, such as a few seconds of eye contact."

Otherwise, the condition could have been met in that brief moment of eye contact, instead of failing to work as it is now.

These are the conditions that have been compiled so far.

Pairo nodded; the rule he had just been considering was roughly the same.

His abilities can be seen with the eyes.

"So, to understand your Nen ability, we need to let you actually use it. Testing it while maintaining 'freeze' and making eye contact isn't too demanding."

"Furthermore, you didn't intend to attack; it was just an instinctive reaction, so at least for now,"

It should not have any offensive capabilities.

Kevin then analyzed further.

After all, Nen ability is ultimately something created by human will, and it will change along with human will.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Kurapika readily raised his hand. "Let me give it a try, let me experience Pairo's abilities."

Upon hearing this, Kevin glanced at Kurapika, then turned to look at Pairo.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Kevin nodded silently.

"Alright."

The two walked to the center of the field, stood face to face, and began to look at each other.

The others stood around observing.

Pairo remained frozen in place as their gazes met.

This time, Pairo clearly sensed the power, and perhaps because he was prepared, he was able to control it better.

The last time was the first time this had happened, and he was completely unprepared, which led to the previous situation.

This time, he had no intention of attacking and could sense that there was no danger throughout the process.

So once he realized he had control, he relaxed and loosened his grip.

So he activated his ability.

That power traveled along his gaze, connecting to Kurapika's eyes, and slowly transmitted there.

From the Pairo confirmed the activation of his ability to the end of their eye contact, the entire process lasted three seconds.

"Alright."

"Huh? Is that all?"

Kurapika blinked; he felt no discomfort and noticed nothing unusual.

Pairo was also observing from the side, trying to see if Kurapika showed any changes or discomfort.

Kurapika looked at everyone and said, "Maybe I haven't trained enough. I don't have the same special senses as my uncle. I didn't even notice anything happening."

His words were very honest.

He simply stared at Pairo for a moment.

He thought Pairo was still preparing, but it turned out it was already over.

Pairo said, "I can feel my abilities working. Unlike last time, this time I was prepared and able to control them. And in the First Stage, I was indeed not aggressive."

"The whole process requires maintaining a 'frozen' state, making eye contact with the other person for three seconds. I should be able to master this process through training."

"During eye contact, I felt a connection being established between my eyes and the other person's eyes, and each eye could perform this connection independently."

Pairo rambled on, reciting the information about his Nen ability that he had just sensed and processed in the instant he used it.

Kevin listened from the side, nodding slightly.

These prerequisites don't sound complicated.

But there is no doubt that Pairo's Nen ability must be some kind of special mechanism.
